The preferred embodiment explanation
What the present invention relates to is a kind of assimilate that clings to the body and improved the side leakage protection.Though below all be described as sanitary towel, should be appreciated that the present invention is applicable to disposable diaper too, adult's incontinence is with device and similar article.
See figures.1.and.2, sanitary towel 10 comprises that a liquid is permeable, retaining sheath 14 that can't be penetrating towards the cover 12, of health towards the liquid of underwear, one is positioned cover 12 and absorber 16, one location of retaining between the sheath 14 elastic component 18 near at least a portion of the outer rim of absorber 16.There are a pair of isolated longitudinal edge 20 and 22 in sanitary towel 10, and end 24 and 26.Longitudinal edge 20 and 22 is in conjunction with end 24 and the 26 common excircles 28 that form sanitary towel 10.
The length of sanitary towel can be between about 150mm to 300mm, and the width of its widest part can be between about 50mm to 175mm.Term used herein " length " refers to the lengthwise dimension of measuring along 24 to 26 the fore and aft axis X-X from the end.What term used herein " width " referred to then is to stride across the lateral dimension of the widest part of sanitary towel along the lateral shaft Y-Y from a longitudinal edge 20 to another longitudinal edge 22.
See particularly that again some elements of sanitary towel 10 can find, thus cover 12 be can penetrating liquid and be suitable for being positioned the side of sanitary towel 10 and wearer's Body contact.It is comfortablely to infiltrate among the embedded absorber 16 with body fit and guiding liquids again that cover 12 is designed to be.Cover 12 can with any braiding that when body fluid and its surface contacts, can permeate into easily or non-woven material make.Preferably, cover 12 should by a kind of allow liquid penetrating and on the horizontal plane that is parallel to cover 12 absorption many can perceive the liquid that obtains materials make.And cover 12 thereon must be seldom residual or not residual liquid so that it keeps relative drying with surface that skin is pressed close to.Cover 12 is materials towards the one side of health that one deck width is enough to cover absorber 16.
Cover 12 can be by terylene, polypropylene, polyethylene, the twice-laid polymeric adhesion type carded webs of nylon or other tool thermal polymerizations.Other polyolefin, as polypropylene and poly copolymer, linear low density polyethylene (LDPE), the thin-film network in close hole and netting material are also very suitable.Other materials that are suitable for are polymeric material and a kind of non-woven fibrous materials of punching.This compound thin layer is the whole thin layer by polymer being placed an online extruding that is formed by weaving form normally.Preferred this material is because its fibroid outer surface does not stimulate wearer's skin and a kind of sensation of cushion is arranged.
The material that the another kind of cover 12 is suitable for is the net that is made into polypropylene spun.This net can contain about 1～6% TiO 2 pigment so that it has pure white clean outward appearance.The weight of highly preferred polypropylene net is between about 10～40g/m
2Preferably its weight is between about 25～35g/m
2Between.
The permeable cover 12 of liquid also can be in wherein containing many hole (not shown).These holes can be provided with or be positioned the zone of the specific needs punching of sanitary towel 10 as required along lengthwise central shaft X-X.These holes are intended to quicken body fluid and are penetrated infiltration first absorber layers 12 downwards.The existence in hole has been arranged, deposited on the hole or near body fluid promptly promptly infiltrates absorber 16.This helps to make the surface more to seem dry when not boring a hole.Therefore, though the hole is not to be absolutely necessary, can present functional advantage when using.
The permeable cover 12 of liquid also can be handled so that it has more hydrophilic through surfactant, thereby helps the absorption of liquid.Surfactant can comprise local additive compound or be applied to inner material such as polyurethane.
Absorber 16 can be by hydrophilic, and compressible, applying and one or more materials that do not stimulate wearer's skin are made, and these materials must absorb and hold bodily exudate.The material that is suitable on this technology as everyone knows and comprise, for example, various natural or synthetic fibers, wood pulp cellulose, regenerated cellulose or cotton fiber, the perhaps mixture of wood pulp or other fibers, molten blown polymer, for example terylene and polypropylene.Molten blown polymer is what delivered by people such as Meyer, and transferring in assignee of the present invention's No. 4,798,603, the United States Patent (USP) has introduction.Whole introductions of foregoing invention all are incorporated among the present invention as a reference.Absorber 16 also can be included in the mixtures of material of the tool absorbability of using in the assimilate, comprises multiwalled cellulose wadding, staple fibre, and spongy cellulosic material, the hydrophilic synthetic sponge is as polyurethane and similar material.
Absorber 16 has a periphery 30 that is positioned within the outer rim 28 of sanitary towel 10 usually, thereby cover 12 and retaining sheath 14 are in conjunction with holding absorber 16.Absorber 16 can be made into various sizes and outward appearance, and is for example rectangular, hourglass shape or ellipse or the like.The absorption total capacity of absorber 16 must be consistent with the load capacity of the exudate of expection during sanitary towel is used.Preferably, absorber 16 is by symmetry ground structure, so that produce.The another one advantage is that the wearer does not need conscious effort so that sanitary towel is got on by its desired direction pad.Cover 12 and retaining sheath 14 can be attached on the adsorption layer 16 with the known mode of this technology, as using spraying-gluing method or ultrasonic bonds method.
Absorber 16 can and then comprise superabsorbents, and it can keep body fluid effectively.Superabsorbents can absorb a large amount of liquid with respect to they self weight.Be used for assimilate, sanitary towel for example, typical superabsorbents can absorb 5 to 60 times body fluid with respect to their own wts.Yet the mechanism of absorption of superabsorbents is slower than the liquid absorption of cellulose fluff material usually.The placement of superabsorbents microgranule is not crucial, but has found to render a service when it is placed on the centre of sanitary towel 10 well, because this has prolonged the time of superabsorbents microgranule absorb body fluids.
Retaining sheath 14 can be made by any suitable material, and its surface towards underwear should be that liquid can't penetrating and preferably can allow air and wet water vapour to appear sanitary towel 10 when stopping leakage of body fluid.Good material should be trickle concavo-convex polymerization thin slice, for example thickness polyethylene or the polypropylene between 0.025 to 0.130mm (about 0.001 to 0.005 inch) greatly.Bi-component and braiding or non-woven fabric are treated to make it also can not be used to this behind penetrating liquid.Another material that is fit to is closed cellular expanded polyolefin.For example, a kind of thickness is approximately between the cellular polyethylene of the closure between the 0.5mm to 10mm.
Bright as shown, the retaining sheath 14 that liquid can't be penetrating extends in parallel with the permeable cover 12 of liquid, is adhered on the cover 12 at the zone retaining sheath that cover 12 and retaining sheath 14 contact face-to-face.Cover 12 adheres to retaining sheath 14, and randomly adhere to method that absorber 16 gets on can be any can be not remaining not hard down, allow the method for the residue that the wearer do not feel well.The method that various combinations of materials are got up is known for the personage who is familiar with this technology, and it comprises and uses even continuous or discrete hot melt to separate adhesive layer, the adhesive of style coating, the pressure-sensitive adhesive, two-sided tape, ultrasonic bonds or heat sealing etc., too numerous to enumerate.
Elastic component 18 is positioned between the excircle 28 of the outer rim 30 of absorber 16 and sanitary towel, and preferably is close to outer rim 30 and fixing along longitudinal edge 20 or 22 at least on one side.Elastic component has four surfaces of separating, that is: one towards the upper surface 32, of cover 12 towards the lower surface 34, of retaining sheath towards the inner surface 36 of absorber 16 and an outer surface 38 towards the excircle 28 of sanitary towel 10.Preferably elastic component 18 is located along longitudinal edge 20 and 22.The length of elastic component 18 can begin to reach the total length of sanitary towel 10 from 35mm always.Elastic component 18 preferably is symmetrical arranged along the transverse central axis Y-Y of sanitary towel 10.Preferably elastic component 18 should hold absorber 16.
Elastic component 18 can be positioned on the cover 12 or be positioned cover 12 and the retaining sheath 14 between.Because preferably elastic component 18 is preferably and wearer's Body contact, thus elastic component 18 preferably by a kind of softish, the material that is similar to cover 12 of being obedient to covers.Like this, elastic component 18 preferably is located under the cover 12.
Elastic component 18 is flexible by a kind of tool especially, and material that can the resilience complex is made, and preferably hydrophobic.Elastic component 18 can be by hydrophobic foam of polymers, and for example polyurethane foam is made.The flexible material that can the resilience complex of other tool, for example by the styrene butadiene of foamed, the polyethylene of foamed, the silicone of foamed, the vinyl material of foamed, softish spongy rubber, the reticulated foams of crosslinked or noncrosslinking closure and the material that similar raw material is made are suitable for too.This class A foam A can obtain from following company: (be positioned at 1120 JuddRoad, Cattanooga, Tennessee) Woodbridge Foam Fabricating, Inc; E.N.Murray Company, Inc., it is in Denver, and Colorado has sales department; Astro-Valcour, Inc., it is in 18Peck Ave.Glens Falls, and New York is provided with sales department; And Youngbo America, Inc., it is positioned at 11816 Western Avenue, Stanton, California.
Elastic component 18 also hydrophobic or part hydrophobic.A kind of suitable hydrophobic material as elastic component 18 is the cellulose sponge of compression.Cellulose sponge should have enough pore-sizes so that absorb the body fluid volume of expection.
For example, in absorbing the example of menses, the size of sponge hole will absorb the less liquid of a kind of viscosity than being used to, as urine, the time used want big.
Elastic component 18 is hard, and energy resilience complex, and this comfort for the wearer is important.The rigidity intensity of elastic component 18 should be between about 1000 to 11,000 Ge Lei (Gurley) rigidity volume units, and preferably between about 1000 to 10,000, more preferably should be between 1500 to about 9,000.Rigidity intensity decides according to TAPPI method T543pm-84, and its described content is incorporated into the present invention and becomes a part as reference.
Elastic component 18 width should be between about 3mm to 12mm, and it is highly then between about 0.5mm to 8mm; Preferably, its width range is approximately between the 3mm to 8mm; Best, its width range is between about 3mm to 6mm, highly then preferably between about 6mm to 8mm.
Cotton wool 10 also have about 700 the gram counter-bending power, preferably, this power less than about 400 the gram, more preferably should less than 300 the gram, and most preferably should less than 200 the gram.Counter-bending power is by the peak value measurement of flexural rigidity intensity, and these data then are obtained from the test of a kind of imitation ASTM D4032-82 CIRCULAR BEND PROCEDURE (annular curved process).The test of this modification is used to detect effect of the present invention and following all abbreviate as " annular curved process "." annular curved process " is a kind of material when multi-direction distortion takes place at the same time, by its another side of the one side of sample depression projection then." annular curved process " provides a power value with respect to counter-bending power, the average simultaneously rigidity intensity of all directions once.
In the example of " annular curved process " that the present invention carried out, the independent sample of sanitary towel is quilt central shaft X-X sampling along the longitudinal from absorber 16.
Here " annular curved process " required device is a modification " annular curved rigidity intensity measuring device ", and it comprises with lower member: the smooth steel plate platform of a polishing, it is of a size of 102.0 * 102.0 * 6.35mm and a diameter is arranged is the hole of 18.75mm.The lap awl limit in hole is 45 and depth is 4.75mm.One plunger with following size is used to this test: this plunger total length 72.2mm; Diameter 6.25mm; The spherical plush copper that one radius 2.97mm is arranged; And one from plush copper extend out spicule and the tip assembly of 0.88mm.This assembly has-and the base diameter of 0.33mm and a radius be less than the tip of 0.5mm.Plunger is concentric being installed on circularly on the hole and in periphery and stays equal space.Notice that spicule-tip configuration is moved by the sample occurred level in test process in order to prevent herein.Therefore, if this spicule-ball structure influences significantly by sample (for example, puncture-expandable structure), this spicule-ball structure just should not be used so.The bottom of plunger should place the top far away in the hole on the flat board.From this position, spherical plush copper will directly arrive the positive bottom in the hole on the flat board when moving downward stroke.
This test needs an ergometer.If the reversible compressive load pick off of Instron has the loading range of one from 0.0 to 2000.0 gram promptly very suitable.
A kind of actuator, Instron 1122 type actuators just have a reversible compressive load pick off more precisely.Instron 1122 type actuators are by being positioned at Canton, and (of Canton Massachusetts.) makes the Instron Engineering Corporation of Massachusetts.
Because what the present invention paid close attention to is the pliability of effective absorption portion of sanitary towel 10, thus should test that some takes from each sanitary towel 10 contain the different of absorber 16 by sample.What only contain cover 12 and/or retaining sheath 14 is not used in test by sample.Like this, the difference of " Y " number that takes out from each sanitary towel 10 is used to test by sample.If any one effective absorber partly meets the parameter request of this test, this sanitary towel 10 also promptly reaches testing standard so.The tester should be to not folded by sample, crooked or compression, and should contact by sample, also should hold its edge when taking, in order to avoid influence its counter-bending characteristic. as far as possible less
In order to carry out the step of this test, as described below, essential with 5 representational sanitary towels 10.From 5 sanitary towels to be measured one downcut approximately " Y " individual be of a size of 37.5 * 37.5mm by sample.From remaining four sanitary towel 10, also downcut number and size with from first sanitary towel, obtain all identical by sample.Like this, the tester promptly obtains " Y " individual sample group, and every group all contain 5 identical by sample.
The step of " annular curved process " is as follows: being placed in a room temperature by sample is 21 ± 1 ℃, and relative humidity is to reach at least two hours in 50 ± 2% the room, so that it is conformed.Test board horizontal positioned, plunger its speed in the full stroke that each moves downward is set to 50.0cm/min.Be put in one in the middle of the hole platform by sample and be under the plunger, this moment, its cover 12 kept off sheath 14 towards platform towards plunger, and any point release paper on the lip-deep adhesive of underwear is all torn, adhesive then sprinkles corn starch, Pulvis Talci or other any suitable synthetics that can eliminate its viscosity.Check the zero graduation of dial gauge, in case of necessity zeroing.Start plunger.In test, should avoid contacting sample.Note the immediate gram number of the maximum, force of reading.Repeating above-mentioned steps finishes until 5 identical all being tested by sample.
Each is exactly this maximum, force of being read by sample by the peak value of the flexural rigidity intensity of sample.In " Y " group five of each group roughly the same all passed through test by sample, and five record values of this group are averaged.Like this, the tester promptly obtain " Y " category with by the average of each group in the sample.If any one effective absorption portion of sanitary towel 10 all has required counter-bending power, sanitary towel 10 promptly reaches the parameter request of this test so.Thereby for a specially designed sanitary towel 10, its counter-bending power is exactly the maximum in the peak value of these average flexural rigidity intensity.
Because sanitary towel 10 has pliability, so it also can be relatively thinner.Preferably do sanitary towel 10 thinnerly, it just can not be outstanding and wear the time spent wearer also I haven't seen you for ages the existence of awaring it like this.In view of the above, the thickness of sanitary towel 10 should be less than about 5mm, preferably should be less than about 4mm, most preferably then should be less than about 3mm.
The thickness at any one position of sanitary towel 10 can descend step to measure according to this.All measurements all are to use the assimilate product of just having unpacked to carry out.Each sanitary towel will place more than half an hour after packing is taken out at least, and wants SC may influence the incident generation of its characteristic with anti-extrusion or other when taking.Statement in addition only, all measurements all are at 22.7 ℃ of room temperatures (73 °F), with respect to what carry out in the environment of temperature 50% ± 2%.The guard strip of adhesive tape all should be removed, and adhesive tape then is coated with envelope with Pulvis Talci or corn starch.Preferably should there be one-shot measurement inwardly to carry out at least from elastic component 18.
Need a comparator (Ames 130 types have the graduated disc of one 482 types, and in B.C.Ames, Company of Waltham, Massachusetts is on sale) during measurement.The annular comparator that typical comparator all has a usefulness aluminum to make is surveyed foot, heavy 10.0g, and an area 5.16cm is arranged
2Contact surface.The rustless steel of comparator weighs body weight 80.0g, has produced the total pressure of 1.7KPa (0.25psi).If because the shape in tested zone, use circular comparator to survey foot and can not measure this zone exactly, what then should use is that a rectangle comparator that is of a size of 2.54cm * 0.64cm (1 " * 1/4 ") is surveyed foot and applied a heavy body of detection that can produce the pressure of 1.7KPa (0.25psi) thereon.Comparator at first should return to zero, and then heavy body is added on the axle of extending above the comparator graduated disc.Then the survey foot of comparator is mentioned and sanitary towel is put on the substrate, it towards the surface of underwear down.Sanitary towel should accurately be positioned on the substrate to survey with box lunch and can arrive the zone that sanitary towel will measure when the underfooting falls.Sanitary towel 10 should not have pleated before measuring as much as possible.Drop on the sanitary towel surveying foot lightly.Read numerical value on the comparator graduated disc 30 after several seconds to determine caliper surveying foot contact sanitary towel.
